At Qlik, we are committed to making a positive impact in the world through our Nonprofit Software Program. One of our proud partners in this endeavor is Edulution, a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming education in Africa. Through our program, we have been donating Qlik licenses to Edulution, enabling them to harness the power of data to drive meaningful change in the education sector.
Edulution's Vision: Transforming Lives Through Education
Edulution envisions a world where education is not just a privilege but a fundamental right for all. With their 'road-tested' Learning Platform, they believe they have the potential to transform the lives of millions of learners across Africa. Through eight years of experience in diverse and challenging environments, Edulution has developed a proven, effective, and scalable model that is poised to revolutionize learning outcomes.
Addressing the Learning Crisis and Youth Unemployment
The challenges facing education in Africa are immense, with a growing learning crisis and youth unemployment crisis threatening the long-term economic and social progress of the continent. Edulution recognizes these challenges and has developed a solution—a new Learning Platform that enables effective learning and local job opportunities. By leveraging technology, Edulution aims to bridge the attainment gap and provide underserved children with the opportunity to succeed.
Data-Driven Innovation: The Key to Success
At the heart of Edulution's success lies their robust Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) system, powered by Qlik Sense data visualization software. This system enables Edulution to track and monitor live activity during their Numeracy Programme, generating valuable insights that drive continuous improvement. Through Qlik's support, Edulution has been able to analyze data more effectively, leading to positive outcomes for learners.
"All our achievements would not have been possible without the continued support of our partners... Qlik's credibility, experience and software contribute immensely to our vision of 'Transforming how Africa Learns'." Edulution's CEO, Richard Akwei
Positive Impact in 2023
The results speak for themselves. In 2023, Edulution witnessed overwhelmingly positive results, with median learner test scores increasing significantly. Through the Qlik Sense data visualization system, Edulution was able to examine first and final test scores, highlighting the remarkable improvement achieved by learners. Over 5,000 learners improved their mathematics outcomes by over 100%, and most learners by at least 40%, demonstrating the transformative impact of Edulution's programs.
Looking Ahead to 2024 and Beyond
As Edulution embarks on its Strategy Towards Sustainability in 2024, Qlik remains committed to supporting their mission. By focusing on capacity building and collaboration with other Implementation Service Providers, Edulution aims to expand its reach and deepen its impact on education in Africa. Through initiatives like the pilot program with Penreach in South African schools, Edulution is poised to make an even greater difference in the lives of learners across the continent.
